Discussion
Select the option that joins the following sentences using the most appropriate conjunction.
You can borrow the book. You should return it soon.
Answer: D
'You can borrow the book provided that you return it soon' joins the two sentences with the conjunction that carries the condition. The first sentence gives permission and the second states the requirement, so 'provided that' fits. 'But' contrasts the clauses, 'and' only adds, and 'when' gives a time instead of a condition, so those options do not give the right sense. In a sentence with a conditional clause, 'provided that' states a condition, and so it joins the permission with the requirement that the book be returned soon. 'But' implies that the second sentence limits the first, which is close but less exact, and 'when' changes the sense.
